A TEACHER/STUDENT ROMANCE - CHAPTER 11
I’ve been in my room since yesterday, I feel really bad.I’ve never felt like that before.
A knock came in, I stand up to get the door. At the door is Adrian looking handsome as usual.
“Hi ” I say as I open the door for him to come in. I draw one of the chairs from my desk for him and sit on the second one.
“How are you ” he ask as he sits down.
“I’m fine ” I answer.
“Well, your voice showed the opposite obviously ” he said looking at my face. “What is wrong ” he questions his tone filled with consign.
Instead of me answering, I just begin to tear up. Like that’s what I’ve been doing since yesterday evening, apart from me feeling guilty which could be a cause, I’ve been having mood swings too. And that happens when my period is coming up.
“Oh my goodness, you are crying “Adrian exclaimed which trigger the tear more.
Nope, i can’t believe I’m crying in front of Adrian. On a normal and mood swing free day, I’d smack myself for thinking of it.
“Gemma, tell me! Shh, look at me ” he says as he lift my head up with his hand.
“A problem shared is a problem solved, so tell me about wh@??ver that is making you cry ” he look at me waiting for my answer.
“I…i feel so guilty Adrian, I feel bad after what happened yesterday. I talked to Brandon, and I realized that I’ve wrongly accused him and punished him for what he did not do.” I cry out more.
I was Suprise when Adrian pull me in to a hug but I’m not in my right senses to think about it. I wrap my arms around him as I wet his green shirt with tears. He continue petting me, rubbing his hand on my hair.
“If you want to feel less guilty, you should make amend ” he speaks up.
“How? ” I ask as I clean my tears.
“Apologize and make it up to him. Buy him what he likes the most, put a smile on his face”
“But I apologize to him yesterday, he said he would never forgive me ” I replied.
“He will, just keep on begging him ” Hunter says.
I nod and tighten my hands around him.
“You are the best cuddle ever ” I say with smile and sniff his cologne.
“Really, don’t tell me this is just a prank so that you can cuddle with me ”
“What! No. I really feel bad ” I tell him .
“Okay, now that you feel less bad we have to get working. We have a lot to do, coupled that you missed School today ” he says as he tries move out of my tight grip.
I sigh and release him. I watch him as he brings out texts from his side bag. We start the lesson.
Minutes later. It’s starting to get boring, I prefer reading novel than this. So I just stare at Adrian’s face and watch his small pink lips move instead of listening to him. He then notice and glare at me.
“Concentrate Gemma ” he says and I nod swiftly. I start listening to him again as he talks about figures of speech. Goodness so much for missing School for a day.
“Hey!! Can you be my cuddle buddy? ” I smile as I play with the bracelet on his hand.
He look up at me with a bewildered look. “No, well I think it’s disrespectful to ask your teacher that ”
“Come on ” I pout.
“You are mean ” I roll my eyes hitting his shoulder slightly.
“You just ask me to be your cuddle buddy, know what that means? ”
“Well that isn’t a big deal, besides you’re not my teacher ” I said.
“Then what am I ” he scoff.
“You’re my cuddle buddy ” I giggle.
“Are you drunk ?”
“Yeah, drunk with literature ” I huff.
“I think I like you better when you feel guilty” he shakes his head.
“And I like it better when you are not in a teaching teaching mode, that way I feel less bored. ”
“That’s how it should be” he replies
“No, that’s not how it should be. You should atleast put some ginger into your explanation or something instead of goin-”
“So in other words, I’m a boring teacher ” he raise an eyebrow.
“No, don’t get me wrong, I mea-”
“Don’t worry, I get you. ” he sigh.
I roll my eyes and stay silent.
“Soo,,, have you opened the box I gave you?” he ask.
Oh $h|t! I forgot.
“No ” I say as I stand up to get it from my bag.
I unwrap it and open the box. I gasp as I stare at the beautiful necklace in the box. I brought it out.
“You like it? ” he ask and I look at him.
I shake my head affirmatively and sit down.
“I know your dad can get you more than this, a diamond or gold necklace precisely. But this is what I can afford ” he laughs.
I’m trying hard not to blush right now, and I don’t know how to thank him. So I just hug him and say “Thank you ”
